“I’m looking forward to the challenge of FC Bayern. It’s a great honour to be able to work for this club – FC Bayern is an institution in international football.

“As a coach, you have to stand for what you are as a character: I love having the ball, being creative – but we also have to be aggressive and courageous on the pitch.

“I’m now looking forward to the basics: working with the players, building a team. Once the basis is right, success will follow.”

Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen added: “We all at the club agree that Vincent Kompany is the right coach for FC Bayern and are very much looking forward to working with him.”
